Has a book ever fundamentally changed the way you see life? If yes, what was it?Well there is always the Scriptures....I would say they fundamentally change my life. But that sounds like a cheesy answer. I also really loved The Last Lecture by Randy Pausch, there were some very important reminders in that book that I try to implement in my life.

How do you choose a book?(eg. by cover design and summary, recommendations or reviews)It depends on my mood....I might just pick up something that sounds interesting on the back cover. Others I get by referrals from friends. I don't usually go by cover design....some of my favorite books have lame covers. And I steer clear of the reviews.....I prefer to make my own assessment.

Do you prefer Fiction or Non-Fiction?All of the above.

What’s more important in a novel - beautiful writing or a gripping plot?I like there to be plot. I can put up with some crappy writing if the plot has been engaging.

What was the last book you’ve read, and when was it?Today I continued reading The WARDen's Black Dagger Brotherhood Insider's Guide (I am on page 417......I will finish tonight on the metro ride home. wahoo!!)

Have you ever given up on a book half way in?Not that I can think of. I usually try to force myself to finish them. Though I know there are those that got interrupted and I haven't gotten back to them yet. And I emphasize the word YET!
